2021 Mazda Mazda6 Sport

The Mazda6 is Mazda's mid-size sedan, the one that goes up against the Camry and Accord but with a more upscale feel. It's one of the most engaging cars in its class, with precise steering and a chassis that loves a curvy road. Inside, you get a cabin that feels more premium than its price suggests, with quality materials and a clean layout. The trunk is generous for the class, and the rear seats fold down for extra room when you need it. The Sport is the base trim, so you get the smaller 17-inch wheels and cloth seats, but it still has the 8.8-inch display and Apple CarPlay standard. Its 2.5L I4 makes 187 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque, paired with a six-speed automatic and front-wheel drive, which is plenty for daily driving and returns 29 mpg combined.
